Supporting ‘small changes’ into spring whilst TTC...🌱🌼🌸🍀- Fun Bus 34

[Minster2012]

Last time we actually got reported straight away, for being too fun for MN...was it a week ago?? Maybe 😋😝but they can’t hold us back as the Harry Potter speed bus flies...

We’ve worked out a fleshlight for horses on a MN bus is NOT WELCOME, but how do I know what you have in your suitcase? I’m just the driver, a passenger’s belongings is their own responsibility, and my bags have LOADS of OPKs, loads of pills, fruit, veg, wine, gin & trainers for my workouts.

We aren’t just challenging ourselves to get pregnant & trying to help each other do so, we are also trying to help each other get fitter and sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...

Have a look at the small changes beside the names and see if you want to try them yourself or add in your own!

We are in this together 🥰♥️🙌🏻💪🏻
Spring is coming, and so are we 😘🦄🍀🌸🌷🌻🌼

@2alreadywantanother ha ha the chicken salt is a big thing in Australia and I think @Clairey844 had it when she was there?? And loved it, I e never had it, @Skip86 said she was gonna ship some over and never did 🤔so if we go over there we can get some! I think we were trying to find things that were the same were we or maybe called something different?? Pot noodles were another thing discussed I remember 😂🤣

@paintfairy honestly, men. Bloody hell, how we have actually managed to keep going as a species when we need to get them involved is beyond me 😜

@Franklydear well I'm hoping it will FW earlier and good news! Ooo let's see if we can find find ppl with you! Gotta be some ppl right!

Anyone else due AF this week?? @bez91 what about you then if you are in TWW? And that sounds killer with the waking 3 times and early starts 😣😴🥱def get an early one.
We've got new neighbours moving in from down south tomorrow I'm led to believe, so that means the dogs will be going nuts all day no doubt 🙄great!

Night ladies!

@Minster2012 I'm due on weds/thurs 😒 how about you? Hope the new neighbours are ok, and the dogs!! Night night x

@minster2012 interesting. I've seen bacon seasoning advertised but it's not here yet

Hello 👋🏻 I've been a terrible passenger this week! Felt like I have a hangover until 2ish then get a couple of good hours before I'm falling asleep again 😴 🙈 and just for fun this weekend my oh has decided to rip out the whole of upstairs. Over a year with no sign of renovations starting and now it's full steam ahead. Having to go live in his brothers self catering cabin for a few days as he's replacing both bathrooms 🙈 send help! I can't even have a wine so a whine will have to do 😂 on the plus side I found photos of oh as a child and holy Moses he was bloody cute 😍

Apologies in advance for anything I've missed as been dipping in and out for a quick read.

@Minster2012 fantastic news on your amh (?) levels and even better news on the next round going ahead sooner than expected!! Delighted for you 😁🥳

Belated birthday wishes to @Kirky658 and @Tornado2Inc 🎂🎂 hope you both had a lovely day 😊

Huge congratulations to @TTCAbroad and @Justanothercyster such lovely lovely news ❤️🥳 delighted for you both!!

@Juno231 your hospital visit made me laugh, I needed that! Go enjoy some 🍆 you deffo deserve it after that!
It get me wondering why for anything fertility related it's all so shit for women... strangers looking and shoving things up our foofs, having our uteruses scratched, hormones.... the list goes on but for men they literally just have to orgasm, granted it's into a cup but hey i know what I'd rather AND they get to do it in private!! It just seems a lot unfair 🤔 Eve and that fecking Apple!!

@Vil10 we were speaking last week about how you and your oh are still so young with years to become parents. This trip is a once in a life time thing and definitely a pre-child(ren) adventure. So exciting! I'll be living vicariously through your insta posts 😂 nothing beats having something to look forward to 🌏✈️

@Skip86 WTA-effing-F 😲 your soon to be ex husband definitely needs his head testing, not just for the personality disorder, but also for giving up such a beautiful family (you my darling are gorgeous and omg your boys 😍). You aren't an idiot for saying you would take him back, just you are evidently an infinitely better human being than him. It will hurt like a bitch just now and nothing we can say will change that but you are worth and deserve so so so much more! Better things are coming your way, just put one foot in front of the other each day until you get there! You've got this and we've got you ❤️❤️

@Minster2012 we'd be extinct if the planet was men only. I would stake my life on it!
@Gem176 yeah I said that! Definitely seems unfair. Don't wear tight pants and orgasm into a cup. Somehow seems a massive injustice. But if ttc was the other way around, none of us would be able to do it, if it depended on them doing all this stuff. Just wouldn't happen!

@paintfairy haha do I bring up stats a lot? 🙊That would be very me! And btw the older I get the less I like men as a species 😬

@Gem176 yes!! So bloody unfair and then they have the audacity to whinge about it too - read the room!

@katao @2alreadywantanother ooh are we tww buddies? I'd missed that!

@katao @Minster2012 I haven't been able to tag today either (on and off), been struggling to bookmark and to post as well!

@Minster2012 the peak was today but I also had a temp dip and ovulation pain so I think I may have ovulated today. I've no idea what to expect LP wise after last month's cycle went bananas but I guess I'll test at 11dpo/11th march (ooooh I love it when it aligns!)

@Minster2012 the browser, the app never works well for me. Although seems to be tagging now again.

@2alreadywantanother i won't be a bad influence 😉

@Minster2012 shall I see if she can do a bulk manifestation? Summon the universe for some BFPs for us all 🪐 Prob be a sight bit cheaper than IVF!!!!

According to my Femometer app AF due on Sunday but with my body being a fuck boy, who knows. I had EWCM a couple of days ago and now today loads of cramping and bloating...my brain didn't get the memo from my ovaries that they're having a month off 🤦🏽‍♀️

@paintfairy if we relied on men to grow then birth babies we would have died out after Adam and eves 1st child 😂😂😂 one man would do it once, say never again, tell all his mates and that would be the human race over!

@Juno231 at the point of legs in stirrups sans underwear men would be out.... that's before any prodding! Can you imagine what they would do with several people looking down the business end and a dr cleaning their butthole before inserting dye?!

@Juno231 we are.
@Katao I'm sure u wont be but I'm making no promises 🤣🤣

Make a deal, we test on same day lol

@Gem176 I nearly just spat my drink out reading that 😂😂😂👏👏👏

@Crazydoglady123 I've loved that Betty white quote for years, it just seemed so appropriate for that convo 😂

@paintfairy @Gem176 my friend is ttc and wants to take a break until July now but her OH wants to crack on with it - so I told her to let him crack on but to leave him to it and not do any of the tracking herself as it will workout the same 🤣. Especially as he's like my OH and if she didn't chase after him for FW they'd never DTD when it counts.

Sorry @Juno231 i missed your comment when I posted, yes looks like you, me and @2alreadywantanother are all hoping for some good news before mother's day 😉
@2alreadywantanother well i make no promises either, I'm nothing if not inconsistent 😂

@Juno231 @paintfairy I'm finding it hilarious at the moment because my oh is so clueless that he actually thought if we counted back from our dating scan we could find out the day we had baby making sex 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ trying to explain that for the first two weeks of pregnancy you aren't actually pregnant was amusing... his wee face was a confused picture 😂 didn't even attempt the whole ovulation, sperm hanging around for a few days and implantation explanation as that would have blown his mind 🙄🤣

Just having a catch up while I'm unable to sleep after getting up for a wee and @justanothercyster OMG!!! 😱😱😱 Look at your with your BLAZING BFP!!! Congratulations darling girl!!! You're pregnant!! 💕 Omg I'm so excited for you! What an end to February! 🎉🎉🎉 And yes you stick with us, were here for the whole journey just like the others 🥰

I'll get back on track with you all properly later (at a more social hour)... Got my 2nd Covid vaccine at 9am so I'll pop in after xx

WTF just woke up at ridiculous o'clock bleeding, like proper AF style bright red and enough to need a tampon so not just spotting. Just looked back at the calendar thinking maybe time has escaped me but I'm only CD16 🤬, technically I should have been ovulating not bloody menstruating! Periods are bad enough 4 weeks apart but 2 weeks, come on where's the justice!? OK rant over and up in 2hours for work, tired and an unwelcome unexpected AF, today is going to be fun! 😴😴😴

Thanks for checking in @Minster2012 I hope your neighbours are ok 🤞🏼😬 when is the next date in the process now for your IVF after your consultant app last week?

Tested this morning at 14dpo and stark BFN. AF isn't actually due until Friday with my long luteal phase 😫 so who knows what that bleeding was at 4-7dpo. Got back into bed with DH before he had to go to work and he picked my sorry arse off the floor so on with the day 💪🏼

@Franklydear ooo so there's @Crazydoglady123 &
@notyetamumbuttrying with you this week and def @Crazydoglady123 she must do some sort of group discount right?? 🪐💫manifest for all, it HAS to be cheaper than ivf 😂

@2alreadywantanother mmm gotta say I like the sound of bacon seasoning!

@Gem176 you guys could make a really cute boy then! And I think it's good about the renovations, there's still time and it would be good before baby is here! Oooo yes we'll all have to be so jealous of @Vil10 & her trip through Insta! Love that vagina pic. Wait, does it Not work like that going backwards to the sex?? To me it goes backwards to a dish??? 🤔😆

@paintfairy 🤔def extinct I agree! Ooo if only we could just not wear tight pants!

@Juno231 ooo so there's a few of you around that time! And yes 11dpo 11th March that's a bit prophetic! Let's hope that HSG dye did something! You are the stats girl ☺️ your friend will prob get preg go with the just relax approach!

@Sausage1990 wow your second vaccine! Exciting good luck!

@DKDK123 WTF?? Fuck boy. What! You didn't have an early miscarriage last did you?? After mine I had 3 cycles of 10days/11days/14 days was head screwing 😣😔

Oh @bez91 sending big hugs so sorry for the BFN that's shit. Always shit.
On the ivf front we wait for AF then call them and get drugs to go on the next cycle. Last time after I came off the drugs after my October cycle AF went awol though and I was a bit ill so it was l ended up leaving it a month overdue then taking northisterone to bring it on. He said to leave it 2 weeks after it's due & take it. So I'm not sure when, going around May I guess it depends if AF makes an appearance or not.

Hope everyone else is ok!

Not heard from @MartyMcShy, @meredithgrey1 @HappyMrsR @greenfrogs1 @beast0fBODMAS @Billythecat @Hopeful110 @Disneymad85 @French20 @MichelleScarn @Tabbycat92

@Minster2012 I'm herreeee, I'm doing ok...excited but apprehensive about it being the 1st march today! I had a pop up this morning from premom reminding me it's 15 days until my FW haha! So started my clearblue digi dual opk this morning, obvs a blank circle but expected for first time use lol. Really strange and probably tmi but last night when I went to the loo and wiped I had obvious stringy like cm on the toilet paper... so thought hmmm ok thats strange... it was creamy earlier. So did an opk and only 0.24 so think my body could actually be gearing up for the 20th! 😁😁 which would be amazing haha! How are you doing? Still flashy smileys??

@paintfairy good luck for your appointment today lovely! 🤞🤗

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
BTW I didn't know its mother's day on 16th either 🤦‍♀️ but FIL told me to watch out for a delivery today, its a late Christmas present for me 🤭 I have no idea what it will be 🤣

@Sausage1990 thank you lovely, I'm currently just laying in bed before taking a FRER and I'm scared as hell haha! Hope you're doing ok x

@bez91 sorry for the bfn :( how rubbish x

@DKDK123 what?? That's so bloody annoying! Sorry lovely x

Ooooo @Hopeful110 wow your body's gonna go for it!! Yayyyy!!

Yes I'm now on day 9 of flashing smiles so once again my body doesn't have a clue, I don't think I actually ovulate so it will be all systems go for the ivf but I'm fully expecting AF to be a no show with no reason. I mean we've been banging to death, literally done every other day basically the whole cycle and over weekends every day at least so miracles can happen but having been told before I dont ovulate, I'm putting all my faith in @Crazydoglady123's new follower & @Catherinettc's DD to manifest up those twins 😂🤣

@Justanothercyster im def gonna go with a blazing positive 🤔

@Minster2012 thank you for finding me mates, cd 22 not on pms properly yet, school place day, so that'll be today's excitement, it's going to be a long day

I hope no one finds this insensitive, but I just needed to share, I won't post any more pics I promise!

I let dh watch the window develop with me and it made him so happy as he'd never seen that before- the test line came up before the control did 😱 think we finally believe it now 🥰

@Minster2012 oh I'm hoping for a miracle for you 🤞🏼🌟 keep positive lovely lady ❤️

Would help if I added the bloody thing 😐
